Fully agreed with ULTRASONIC_77On the T300 with F1 23 you should Turn On the "Forced" Cooling Mode.Explanations:On F1 23, with the T300 & the TX, the power of the Force Feedback effects automatically decreases (to protect the motor of the wheel) more quickly than on F1 22.This is because, on this new edition, the Force Feedback is stronger than on F1 22, with lot of more spring effects, and so the wheel is hot much faster and reaches a much higher temperature level.Full details here: https://ts.thrustmaster.com/faqs/eng/thr_eng_00156.pdf Will also affect strongly the FFB fade:- The hot weather of the room where you play- The weight of the wheel rim you are using. Quick example: TM OPEN WHEEL (the weight in only 0,8Kg) - SF1000 WHEEL (the weight is upper 1,2Kg)

@void_snwYou can imply its heat as much as you want mate, I appreciate you're just trying to help but with the amount of people reporting issues it can't be heat, plus everyone reporting these issues aren't having trouble with F1 22 or other games even when playing for longer stints where it should get hot.Theres something seriously wrong with FFB in F1 23.

What I can assure you is that it is not a problem of overheating, that's for sure. I've been testing it now and the temperature of the room is very low, the steering wheel fan is normal and it's not generating heat

I'm sorry but suggesting people turn FFB down low on wheels that they've paid a lot of money for purely for the FFB capabilities actually blows my mind.We shouldn't have to turn it down to 10 or 20 strength to finish a 5 lap race with FFB, thats a joke of a situation.People have repeatedly said it works fine on other games and even F1 22 but you're insisting its still heat...why?! It almost feels like we're being ignored now when we provide details about what is happening in order to avoid admitting its a fault with the game.You've deflected the possibility that it could be the game or looked for something else to blame at every chance you've had, just admit it might be the game! no wonder people on here are getting frustrated.People have said from release day that FFB is bugged yet we've been told its firmware, heat or even our settings to deflect the blame away from the game itself. Besides the problems with FFB look at how many bugs there are! maybe there's a chance FFB is one of those bugs too ay? Just a thought.It would be better if you told us to sit tight for the patch than tell us it's our hardware causing the issue, that's all we ask.

@FisherSnakeIts not the heat, this years game just simply can't handle FFB for whatever reason.Feels really weak using heat as an excuse for the game being broken imo, i guarantee all these wheels/rigs work fine on 22 but not 23...funny that.

This seems to happen on PC as well. And my brother has a T248 and he has the same issue.

Make sure you are running the most recent firmware/drivers for your setup:

I have updated my firmware for the T300RS to the latest version (V34) and is still going numb after 5-10 laps of a grand prix/time trial.

Do those having the issue have the fan set to be on constantly? This is advisable. Hot weather may also be a factor depending where you live. FFB does fade if the wheel gets too hot.
I haven't noticed an issue using a T300 with PS5 myself for what it's worth.

On the T300 with F1 23 you should Turn On the "Forced" Cooling Mode.
Explanations:
On F1 23, with the T300 & the TX, the power of the Force Feedback effects automatically decreases (to protect the motor of the wheel) more quickly than on F1 22.
This is because, on this new edition, the Force Feedback is stronger than on F1 22, with lot of more spring effects, and so the wheel is hot much faster and reaches a much higher temperature level.

Will also affect strongly the FFB fade:
- The hot weather of the room where you play
- The weight of the wheel rim you are using. Quick example: TM OPEN WHEEL (the weight in only 0,8Kg) - SF1000 WHEEL (the weight is upper 1,2Kg)
